研究:女孩和母亲关系更亲密

Up to 39 percent of women under 50 talk to their mothers every day, according to a study. And one in three talks to them once or twice a week, with many dialing their mum's number whenever they are in need of advice or support.

The close communication owes much to technology, which has made "chatting" by phone, text or email much easier.

Only 14 percent of daughters see their mothers on a daily basis and one in three sees them once or twice a week, with 33 percent saying geography stopped them making more frequent visits.

The survey also found that 43 percent of the 2,000 women questioned relied on their mothers for general advice the most.

Emma Soames, from Saga Magazine, said: "Older women are now so much younger in their attitudes than previous generations so the generation gap has diminished and formal rules of upbringing which saw children seen but not heard have completely disappeared."

研究表明，有39%的50岁以下女性每日都会和母亲联系。而一周同母亲联系1次到两次者占了1/3，许多人都是一需要建议或帮助就拨通了妈妈的电话。

电话、短信、电邮这些通讯技术让“聊天”变得更加容易。

而只有14%的女儿们每日都会与母亲照面，1/3者一周“面圣”1到2次，33%的人则称因为地理原因，无法经常探望母亲。

调查还发现，受调查的2000名女性中，43%的人对母亲的建议最为依赖。

《传奇》杂志的艾玛索姆斯称：“如今，年长的女性心态比前辈们更年轻，代沟逐渐填平，之前只看表象不倾听孩子声音的教育方式也消弭殆尽。”
